Mogar Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 To: Palaven Department of Foreign Affairs From: Office of the Empress, Imperium of Japan. Greetings, As The Imperium has maintained a strong relationship with Tikal for years now, I am interested in reaching out to others that surround the Pacific Rim to ensure our region of the world does not fall into anarchy or war like so many other regions have done as of late. If Cascadia shares my vision of a united and prosperous Pacific Rim, write back to me and I will come personally to visit your nation and discuss our shared future. Signed, -Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Hoshiko, Sovereign of Japan and Joseon Daughter of Amaterasu, Prophet of Takamagahara, Grand Cordon of the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum, Grand Cordon of the Order of the Paulownia Flowers, Grand Cordon of the Order of the Precious Crown, Grand Cordon of the Order of the Sacred Treasure.

Mogar Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 The reply was a bit surprised, Kazuko raised her brows while reading it, but it wasn't entirely surprising that nations would have some level of automation, especially considering how automated the Imperium was, with robotics for nearly any job imaginable. She wrote a reply and decided while not urgent per say, she preferred meeting face to face with a leader upon her own stature as opposed to a lesser like a MoFA. To: Palaven Department of Foreign Affairs From: Office of the Empress, Imperium of Japan. Greetings, While I do not have specific pressing business, the current movements by Cascadia on top of the sudden collapse of the United States leaves me growing concerned with the state of North America, I would love to meet with Lord Hershey personally to discuss my vision of a united Pacific Rim. Signed, -Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Hoshiko, Sovereign of Japan and Joseon Daughter of Amaterasu, Prophet of Takamagahara, Grand Cordon of the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum, Grand Cordon of the Order of the Paulownia Flowers, Grand Cordon of the Order of the Precious Crown, Grand Cordon of the Order of the Sacred Treasure.

Lord Hershey Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hershey was mildly exhausted as he was looking forward to go to sleep with one of his mistresses late at night but then a phone alert notification interrupted his desire for sleep. He sighed and glanced at his bright iPhone to see that the notification came from the Empire’s Department of Foreign Affairs. He mumbled, “Fucking Rafi, where is he? He’s spending too much time partying in Northlands, that’s for sure, heh.” He then typed out his response to Empress Hoshiko with keen interest and pressed send. To: Office of the Empress, Imperium of Japan. From: Lord Hershey Subject: RE: Imperium of Japan - Palaven Empire Relations Hi Empress Hoshiko, I’m afraid this message will be short and crisp as my time has been pressing heavily as of late. Yes, those recent events are what kept me busy, plus the successful campaign in Sinaloa and Sonora too. Regardless, I am certainly interested in discussing with you over the prospect of a united Pacific Rim. Perhaps, you should visit and if you do decide to visit, I’d have an armored motorcade waiting for you at San Francisco International Airport and meet me at an undisclosed location. Please, let me know as soon as possible. Have a good night. Signed, The Lord of the Palaven Empire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogar Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 She smirked at the closing statement, the sun hanging near the center of the sky in Tokyo the 16 hour time difference always made such communications interesting. A reply with an arrival time would be sent and the SonicStar would take off that evening, arriving on what would actually be the previous morning to her at San Fransisco International Airport.

Lord Hershey Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Empress Hoshiko has arrived at San Francisco International Airport and is being greeted by Palaven’s government officials. Empress Hoshiko then meets with Doctor Merkwürdigliebe in an armored motorcade to discuss about prospects of an economic tie between the Palaven Empire and Imperium of Japan. The motorcade is then routed to an undisclosed location in Napa Valley to meet Lord Hershey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogar Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Economic relations in the discussion in the motorcade would be received warmly, it was half of what she was here for after all. Upon arrival she would bow slightly to her counterpart, "Thank you for receiving me in your country, Lord Hershey. I hope I was not too much of a hassle to your schedule."

Lord Hershey Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 "Oh absolutely no problem at all, Empress, I hope you're enjoying your time here, especially given your... marital situation back in Japan. Is there something else you want to discuss more about extending our foreign relations as we head into my personal office?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogar Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 She'd wait for them to get comfortable in his office before contining "I hope you will pardon my blunt language, but it would be beneficial to both of us to ensure that the largest Ocean in the world doesn't become a battlefield between those who happen to live there, the Imperium shares warm relations with the majority of the Americas already, and believes that the united Americas could be useful in ensuring the rest of the world's stability."

Lord Hershey Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 "I agree, ensuring that the Pacific Ocean doesn't become a battlefield, whether that be a military conflict, an environmental battleground, or to safeguard marine life and its environment, is one of top priorities for the Empire."

Mogar Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 "I was hoping, since due to the NWO treaty we would end up on the same sides of any conflict, that we could have an individual relationship as well, Cooperation upon a military level will promote a more unified Pacific Rim. Economically, East Asia has plenty of manufacturing capabilities and The Empire has a significant amount of raw materials, collaboration on an economic level will ensure a more prosperous future for both of our nations, wouldn't you agree?"

Lord Hershey Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 "I don't see why not? In fact, I do recall that Doctor Merkwürdigliebe did recommend an economic and military tie with Imperium of Japan, as it'd greatly solidify the Pacific Rim since protecting the Pacific Ocean is the Empire's duty to protect. Losing Pacific Ocean to a belligerent power will mean that our noble citizens and their way of livings are at risk. So it does make sense to reinforce some form of military ties with Imperium Japan to protect our economic interests across the Ocean."

Mogar Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 She'd pull out a document from a folder she had brought with her, "How does this sound, I can make any modifications if you deem them necessary."
